On August 31, 2009 you will hear the bell ring for the San Mateo school district which is the first day of school. 

This is a very exciting time for your children regardless of age, so make the most of it.

Start them off with a healthy breakfast and make sure they have a healthy lunch to take with them or the schools provide what your child needs.

To make the morning go smoothly have them choose what they are going to wear the night before, pack their back packs with the right esstenials and look over their schedule of classes.  If your child is young take them to the school and show them around so they will be familiar with the settings.  It is always a good idea to have them meet their teachers and other school officals.

This will give your younger children a sense of security and build their self esteem.

You can gather more information from the San Mateo ISD website by visiting. San Mateo-Foster City School District.

Remember to make a note on your calendar for the Parent/Superintendent Coffee Chats.  Stay informed and a great way to know what is going one with your childs school.
